Yan Fu and others did not interfere in the military....≦. As long as he got Yang Hao's promise and confirmed that the revolutionary promotion of the new district would not be occupied by the war, he went back with a nervous look and continued to worry about how to do things as well as possible while tightening his belt.

Yang Hao was not fooling him casually, and this move was even being prepared for a long time ago. Last year, under the name of protecting overseas Chinese, he dragged the entire navy to demonstrate, rushing to land on the beach and dealing with the Spaniards, but it was just the first move to officially intervene in the rule of Luzon.

Now, it's time to plan the second step.

On April 28, 1897, at a high-level military meeting held by the General Command, all the main minds of the Hai and Land departments attended. Yang Hao personally presided over the meeting and immediately issued the action directly.

He was wearing a naval uniform without military rank, and his burly and strong body exuded an unconcealed ferocity. He shook a telegram in his hand with a faint smell of ink in front of everyone's eyes. The smile on the corner of his mouth looked like a carnivore who discovered a fresh and delicious target.

"Everyone, I just received news from Luzon that the troops led by the new Governor Rivera attacked the Luzon rebels in Manila, and suddenly there was a serious internal strife! Aquinado, the leader of the army representing landlords and bourgeoisie, conspired to murder Bonifassue, saved more leadership of the rebels, and forced the disbandment of the political group "Katipunan". Then, they contacted the Spaniards through intermediaries, trying to make peace at a considerable amount of compensation."

He said the rapid changes in the local area in one breath in a brief and concise way, which made the officers present unable to keep up for a while. They hurriedly looked through the information they had posted. After a rough reading, they had a rough understanding of the entire background.

As early as two years ago, Yang Hao extorted colonists of the great powers for the first time. When he was coercing and tempting them to buy a large piece of arms and equipment, he not only sent some weapons and ammunition to the rebels of Vietnam and Malay Asian Games, but also secretly contacted Andris Ponifassue and Jacinto, the leaders of the "Katipunan" who were preparing for the uprising at that time. Not only did he sell them a total of 100,000 rifles and 150 artillery, but he also generously gave them an additional batch of ammunition.

This led to the rebels having a powerful armed force against the Spanish colonists from the very beginning.

Unfortunately, these rebellious armed forces with strong religious characteristics are too unprofessional. Not only does they not have strict military training from top to bottom, but their organizational structure is also extremely loose, and teams are each fighting and disjointed. As a result, when the uprising was launched, everyone rushed towards the area they valued.

But the Spanish were prepared! As for how they knew, we can ask some people from overseas intelligence departments under the Revolutionary Army.

The commander Aguire and Governor Blanco seemed to have been caught off guard, but with the deep accumulation of hundreds of years of colonialism and the hasty mobilization after getting the news in advance, 20,000 troops were gathered in a short period of time. This was several times more than the number of them, which had only 1,500 regular troops and 6,000 Luzon vassals!

As a result, the two sides, whose strength increased, had a particularly fierce conflict. In the end, the rebels defeated the arrogant Spaniards step by step with their advantages of numerous guns and sufficient ammunition.

At the critical moment, Yang Hao pulled the entire navy and suddenly ran over to "protect the overseas Chinese", stabbing the Spaniards from behind. Not only did he loot the entire Manila, but he also sold a huge favor to the rebel military government and signed a series of "friendly secret agreements".

Subsequently, the Chinese Navy left all on the grounds of "successfully completing the task of protecting overseas Chinese". Later, it turned around and captured two strategic areas of Guam and Saipan, and then went to Japan to blackmail, resulting in a war that lasted for several months.

During this period, the Spaniards, who were suddenly shocked by the sudden appearance of their muscles, found that China did not mean to occupy Luzon, and were very relieved. They sent tens of thousands of regular troops headed by the new Governor-General Bolavisha to rush to Luzon, seize Manila from the rebels, and will fight them out of Krabi.

Governor Bolavisha returned with honor, and Rivera, who succeeded him, organized troops to continue the attack. At this moment, internal strife broke out in the rebel army!

Aquinado and others believed that the Revolutionary Army had shown enough power and taught the Spanish rulers a severe lesson through continuous battles. Then, in the future, we should not continue to suffer serious bloody conflicts, but should take the opportunity to make peace with them, and by handing over weapons and disbanding the armed forces, they could establish a republic controlled by Spain.

In this way, they can obtain the protection of a traditional Western power in the name of a country, which is the best political structure.

Of course, Aquinado and others would never admit that under such a peace framework, they actually obtained the vast majority of interests in the new government. That would be much simpler and more affordable than completely driving away the Spaniards and then re-dividing the interests of various rebel leaders.

There are also concerns that they are used to being foreign slaves, and they have no confidence in their hearts. They are always worried that they may lose their existing interests by being invaded and ruled by a stronger country.

But Bonifassus firmly rejected Aquinas's idea. Some of the people led by him firmly believed that as long as all the rebels united and continued to buy weapons and actively fought, they would definitely defeat the Spaniards and gain real and complete national freedom. Luzon could not rely on anyone and not need to be a slave to any country, and would inevitably achieve great victory in the national revolution!

He has a very ready-made role model, which is the Chinese Revolutionary Army under Yang Hao. In just a few years, the achievements of the Revolutionary Army have shocked the whole world! Now, the Yang Hao group is engaged in good cooperation with the Luzon Uprising Army, and the peaceful and enlightened cooperation method adopted since the sudden intervention last time is enough to prove that this is a very good partnership. As long as the two sides continue such friendship, they will definitely be able to work together to resist the suppression and bullying of the great powers.

Bonifashes didn't know that what he insisted on was exactly what Aquinado was afraid of.

The national revolution and land reform that is breaking out in China is not a secret. Through the continuous supply of newspapers provided by maritime merchants and smugglers, plus illegal publications issued by lurking intelligence personnel. The upper classes of the Luzon uprising army clearly know the huge impact of the Chinese revolutionary storm!

Landlord forces like Aquinado must be defeated and liquidated by the proletariat. The "Katipunan" led by Bonifashu is a strong religious and more inclined to the masses, and is very likely to absorb and accept the progressive forces of Chinese revolutionary thought.

Once the revolution is successful, "Katipnan" will inevitably conflict with Aquinado's strength. The landlord bourgeoisie cannot give up their interests. They themselves launched an uprising to obtain greater benefits, rather than really liberating all the people.

The conflict between the two sides broke out for the first time after occupying Manila.

Facing an empty city, Aquinas, who was full of hope to take over the capital and rob the huge profits, was extremely disappointed, and hated Yang Hao to the core. However, Bonifaxiu felt that this was not a big problem. The wealth accumulated by the colonists should be returned to the people. Yang Hao just took the initiative to take away the weapons that supported their uprisings in the past two years. No matter how much it was, it was to compensate for the deficit caused by fighting the Spanish.

...I have to say that idealistic insurrectionists often appear simple and cute. But in the life-and-death political struggle, this kind of thinking is very fatal!

It was not surprising that Bonifas was fired and killed. Aquinas, who finally gained absolute leadership of the rebel army, was extremely excited. Even some of the armed forces led by Macabrus were extremely dissatisfied. Split-splittingly continued to fight against the Spaniards.

He couldn't wait to seek compromise with the Spaniard through the middleman, but he didn't know. Behind the middleman is Yang Hao, and Yang Hao has been waiting for the arrival of this day!

I made a plan two years in advance and calculated all aspects inside and out!

The generals who learned the truth for the first time were gasping for a long time, and their eyes looked at Yang Hao were filled with shock and admiration! What a grand thinking ability was this that he had put his vision on the entire Asia and even the world at the beginning of the local revolution!

However, they were not surprised. Yang Hao has shown his strong judgment to break through the sky countless times. Now they only need to consider how to make full use of the current conditions and gain the greatest benefits!

Yang Hao patted the telegram heavily on the table and said passionately: "Excuse, we have ready-made ones. Support the people of Luzon to strive for national autonomy, oppose the Aquinado group that betrays the revolution, and protect the lives and property of overseas Chinese compatriots!"

When launching a war, you must occupy the moral commanding heights. This is the correct way to be practiced in the world. The previous series of preparations can be achieved today.

Yang Hao raised his hand and signaled. Shi Jianfei stood up and said, "This operation does not require a big fight. We only need to send the first squadron led by two battleships to the South China Sea, cut off the Spaniards' maritime support, and then send weapons, ammunition and military advisers to the Macabrus's armed forces, which is enough to ensure that they grow stronger and win the war. After that, we must support them in establishing a legal government and sign a series of agreements to help develop local mineral resources."

The picture is revealed! This last sentence is the core of starting a war!

All the generals suddenly realized and looked at the two of them with meaningful eyes. They could not get up early without profit. To put it, it was people like Yang Hao. Without enough interests, how could he mobilize so many troops to pull the fleet out? If he really protects overseas Chinese, a heavy cruiser is actually enough to sweep the Spanish Navy as the capital. The battleship and a bunch of ships cost millions of dollars. Who has so much spare money to do it?

Yang Hao also practiced his face and did not think there was any problem with fighting for profits through war. He supported the table with his hands and said with his eyes shining: "Everyone, the Luzon Islands are the first chain around our seas. For the future security of the country, we must grasp this strategic location. If we do not take the initiative, we can foresee that no matter which great power has gained the dominance of the place in the future, we will do our best to block us, and provoke the Luzonians to conflict and friction with us, and even compete for control of the South China Sea!"

The generals had no objection to this. They were instilled with the idea of ​​maritime power from the very beginning, unswervingly supported Yang Hao to devote himself to naval construction and deployed strategic defense to the outer island chain.

In the well-known strategic plan within the country, the island chain of sea cucumber powers seized by Russia, the Chao Peninsula, the Ryukyu Islands, the Treasure Islands and the Luzon Islands must be completely controlled. This can completely block the threats of the great powers to the local area.

The Kuril Islands, the Japanese archipelago, Saipan and Guam form the second island chain. They should serve as a Pacific barrier for the attack of the great powers. Their existence will win valuable time for the navy to go to war and consolidate the first island chain.

As for the expansion of greater ambitions, they targeted the Hawaiian Islands and the Aleutian Islands to guard against the United States, and went south to Indonesia and the Malay Peninsula to control the Indian Ocean passes and defend against European powers.

In the next few decades, the entire Chinese Navy will build layers of solid maritime defense chains around this core strategic defense idea.

There are countless benefits of doing this. The key points are: First, it eliminates disputes between the surrounding seas and neighboring countries in advance; second, it turns neighboring countries into vassals of the Greater China Circle, and turns hundreds of millions of people into Chinese industrial products dumping markets; third, it turns these countries into places for China's industrial resources to provide them. It completely solves the shortcomings of China's generally barren and scattered mineral resources.

The future territory created in this way will be enough to fight against the entire Western world with the power of a corner without losing the upper hand.

Over the past three years, the disposal method of the Northern Dynasties seemed to be very successful. The Northern Dynasties had become a very powerful mineral resource. The mineral mining and rough processing built locally were included in China's basic industrial chain and operated quite stably. At the same time, it also received gratitude from the people of the country, which was a killing of numbers.

Now, it's Luzon's turn.

The list of information in the appendix of the officers' hands shows the rich mineral resources of the Luzon Islands. When they saw the shocking numbers, they couldn't help but be amazed!

Copper ore is 48 million tons! Just one southcotabato copper-gold mine has copper reserves of 10,000 tons and gold reserves of 227-369 tons! How much is this worth?

Larap, domaco, and agusan in Maren Province, North Gan, have 1.4 billion tons of iron ore and 300 million tons of poor iron ore; 300,000 tons of copper metal and 1 million tons of long-term resources; 200 tons of gold ore, 200 tons of associated molybdenum ore; 300,000 tons of lead and zinc ore... everything is available!

So many mineral deposits are concentrated on a narrow line, and a port with a 50,000-ton dock can be built next to it, making mining and transportation extremely convenient! This place alone can provide a steady stream of industrial raw materials for the country!

In addition, Luzon has more than 30 million tons of chromium ore, and the world's largest Coto chromium ore! There are nickel ore with a total reserve of 10.9 billion tons, most of which are iron alumina and are accompanied by 01% cobalt ore - this is an indispensable element for high-strength alloys!

There are also 24.2 billion tons of bauxite ore with a content of up to 40%. The number of various gold, silver and copper ores is unclear, with a total amount of up to 7.1 billion tons! Among them, a gold-copper-silver ore with a reserve of more than 6 million tons was found in a rapu-rapu island. Each ton of ore contains 3 grams of gold and 37 grams of silver; the copper content is 146%, and the zinc content is 233%.

These are all rich mines, priceless and immeasurable!

In addition to the lack of resources such as petroleum and coal, the rich metal non-metallic minerals are outrageous! In addition, there are also crops such as rubber, coconut trees, bananas, etc., which can also be developed to fill the needs of domestic bottomless pits.

Seeing the estimated value, everyone couldn't help but breathe heavily, and their faces turned red!

People these days are all thin-skinned, and scholars are even more ashamed to talk about money and are not good at speaking profits. But when they really see that this unit is calculated in billions of silver, they can hardly count the huge amount of wealth in a large number of zeros, so they decisively throw the shyness in their hearts out of the sky!

Yang Hao likes to see such a transformation very much. He hopes that all Chinese decision makers will have the competitive spirit of daring to face their inner greed for the sake of the country and the nation, dare to expand outward and compete for resources!

Although China is huge, more than half of its territory is not suitable for human survival. China has rich resources and complete mineral products, but most of them are poor ore and difficult to mine. They have high smelting costs, low quality and lack competitiveness.

But China's population base is the world's largest. In the foreseeable future, even if family planning for two children is implemented, it will not take decades to exceed one billion people. At that time, it was not enough food and various resources. It was so difficult to go out and fight for it!

China in this world, with just a small effort, completely emptied its own resource supply capabilities and had to satisfy the world's search for supply land. But at that time, the whole world had long been divided up by the great powers led by the United States, and joined forces to raise prices and block the whole country. Every step Chinese industry has to pay several times more than others!

Yang Hao does not want to push such dangers and difficulties to future generations. He wants to solve them completely in the hands of this generation!

"This place must be occupied! Even at all costs, you have to take it down! Good guy, the whole treasure pot! Just put it under our noses and not in our hands. I'm sorry for future generations!"

Tan Sitong was ready to rub his hands, and his whole body was filled with banditry spirit, wishing he could start himself and snatch that place.

The Social Democratic Party, led by him, has now developed infinitely close to the National Social Party. Within it, the concept of a country, a nation, and a leader has been formed. China, the Chinese nation, and Yang Hao, the trinity is inseparable, and it strives for national rule with armed struggle. With Han culture as the core, the great cause of the ancestor dragon Qin Shihuang was completely completed---the same text, the same track, the same main language, and the inclusion of religion and belief under the banner of the country and the Chinese nation!

This is definitely the Greater Chinese Empire, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He unswervingly promoted it, thus gaining widespread support from the younger generation.

Yang Hao was extremely worried that one day, a large number of gangs of Nazi Party members would appear under his command...

Driven by more extreme ideas, the young and strong sect led by Tan Sitong did not have any psychological barriers to military expansion. As long as it was beneficial to the Chinese nation, he did not care about launching a war. Fortunately, it was written by reading Confucian books, and he always had a bottom line in his heart and would never exterminate other nations for his own survival.

The relatively moderate and conservative Republican Party led by Yan Fu united the enlightened and progressive gentry and the older generation of scholars in the country. They adhered to the traditional Chinese culture as the main body, actively absorbed Western mechanical ideas, industrial civilization as external use, and took the integration of their own strength as the top priority, and did not agree with excessive expansion.

However, facing the huge benefits Yang Hao showed, the old masters were also a little unable to hold back.

Yan Fu paused the table and sighed: "This is the foundation of the existence of China forever. God will not take it, but we will suffer the consequences! However, we must always take care of the interests of the people of Luzon, and it is not easy to plunder like the great powers."

Yang Hao nodded affirmatively: "We always adhere to the policy of common development and common prosperity, and will surely exchange the resources of Luzon. With the precedent of the Northern Dynasties, I believe that we will definitely gain unanimous recognition and support from the people of the Philippines."

Needless to say, the other party does not support it, what should someone do if someone asks for trouble? Our family has so many warships and troops, which are not beautiful!

Everyone unanimously expressed their support for sending troops, and Yang Hao made the final decision: "Okay, we need to create a century-old foundation of stability at one time!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
